Mr. Süleyman, who is also the Head of Museology and Exhibition Branch of Community Centers, enriched the warehouse with the support of the official institutions and the Community Center. The museum, which was turned to the Museum Directorate in 1933, was officially opened in 10th year of our Republic and Mr. Süleyman was appointed as the head.
Afyon Museum, which served as mixed museum since 1933 to 1970, was moved to its new building in 1971 where the Museum Directorate and Archaeology Museum is located.
Gedik Ahmet Pasha School, which was used as the warehouse of stone works having ethnographic characteristics since 1971, was opened to visit in 1995 as the Museum of Turkish Islamic Monuments as a result of the restoration and arrangement of the building between 1978 and 1994. However, the building was closed in 1996 and the monuments were moved to the warehouse of the Directorate, as the extensive humidity, which damaged the monuments, could not be prevented. Exhibition and arrangements shall be made again.
The Archaeology Museum has a very rich collection. There are many monuments of Former Bronze, Hittite, Frig, Lydia, Hellenistic, Rome and Byzantine Ages in the museum. These monuments include marble statue, city coins, findings of Kusura digging, statues and figurines of Hittite and goddess.
